OPTIMIZITION OF LOGISTICS NETWORK OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY 1
Optimization of Logistics Network of Ford Motor Company
What Are We Going to Do?
Ford Motor Company, a leading name in the global automobile market and owner of major
brand like Ford was facing serious cost redundancies in material handling and logistics across its multifaceted manufacturing, transportation and distribution systems. Due to decentralization of supply chain network and massive increase in the number of spare parts in circulation per various brands of cars under the Ford flagship, a staggering amount of 200million Euros was being incurred encompassing collection of 175,000 different types of spare parts from 2450 suppliers and delivering these to 2900 dealers by 750,000 shipments per annum.
How Are We Going to Analyze the Problem?
Ford quickly sensed the gravity of the situation demanding improvement in the logistics network coupled with an enhanced quality of service for dealers and consumers. They hired reputed logistics service provider company Penske to develop and implement a new idea called Network Integrator which subsequently pioneered center point logistics operations approach. As laid down by Penske together with Ford’s supply chain team, we are going to analyze the geographical positions of spare parts source and distribution centers locations followed by defining delivery service levels, daily stock order, weekly stock order, and urgent stock orders along with collection of shipments data from all car brands involved. A useful center of gravity tool for logistics engineering will be employed to select the best cross dock locations for shipments from suppliers and to make shipment consolidation for various destinations with maximum truck loading factor at a minimum cost.
What Sources We Are Going To Use?
According to the different sources in the internet, we tried to find reliable sources with logical reasons. There is video in YouTube which describing cooperation between Ford and Penske company. It describes how professional logistics company joined hands with the auto-giant Ford and solve one of its

key issue concerning logistics. Also, there is more information about dispatch centers and consolidated shipments in the University of San Francisco web site that we will use in this research paper. Other sources of information for this research paper are official websites of Ford Company and Penske Company along with a book based on Supply Chain and Logistics.

also cover this 4 part
Part 1: Problem statement or objective of the research report and background
Part 2: Analysis of the problem or issue (or objective) with appropriate data (existing, derived or research data). Using the engineering management tools/techniques learned during the course, analyze data to drive or lead to a new solution (or finding).
Use the knowledge and techniques discussed in the class and the book. You may have to read ahead certain chapters (as appropriate) to get your project going and done properly
Part 3: Analyze the new or different solution for its advantages (short term, long term, financial, etc.), recommended steps or plan of implementation, stake holder’s impacts, etc.
Part 4: Conclusion or summary clearly stating how the stated problem can be resolved
report should be 10 pages with any chart or something and 2000 words
